05/11/2019 - Della MaeSince its formation in 2009, the Boston-bred, Nashville-based Della Mae has established a reputation as a charismatic, hard-touring live act, building a large and enthusiastic fan base while racking up massive amounts of critical acclaim with its first two albums. On their third, eponymous release, the fivesome embraces a fresh set of musical challenges with eleven compelling tunes that embody the musical and emotional qualities of the group&#39;s prior output while venturing into uncharted creative territory. Della Mae expands upon the musical achievements of the group&#39;s widely acclaimed, Grammy-nominated 2013 breakthrough album This World Oft Can Be, which established the multi-talented female combo as a potent musical force. With a sensitive yet assertive approach that&#39;s steeped in tradition while rooted in the present, the versatile instrumentalist/vocalists draw from a bottomless well of rootsy influences to create vibrantly original music with timeless truths and a contemporary sensibility that places them alongside such roots-conscious young acts as the Avett Brothers, Punch Brothers, the Lumineers, and Hurray for the Riff Raff. www.dellamae.comhttp://www.stoughtonwi.com/events/details/the-steel-wheels-3875

A dynamic four-piece string band marrying old-time musical traditions to an innovative sound, they will draw you in with their soulful mountain music for a truly magnetic revival. www.thesteelwheels.comhttp://www.stoughtonwi.com/events/details/del-mccoury-band-3874
05/03/2019 - Del McCoury BandCelebrating 50 Years of Del McCoury is the kind of album only a true icon could release. The Del McCoury Band, featuring Del (guitars, vocals), his sons Ronnie (mandolin) and Rob (banjo) McCoury, Jason Carter (fiddle), and Alan Bartram (bass), epitomizes the bluegrass genre. A devotee of Earl Scruggs, McCoury joined up with Bill Monroe&#39;s Blue Grass Boys in 1963 and spent time learning from the Father of Bluegrass while moving from banjo to guitar and taking up the lead vocals. McCoury took a step back while his family was young, but continued to play weekends and festivals until bringing his sons to the stage in the early &#39;80s. It was a move to Nashville in 1992 that propelled the band forward and cemented their place in bluegrass history. Since then, the Del McCoury Band has enjoyed numerous awards and nominations, countless surprising and inspiring collaborations, and a laundry list of recordings. Today the Del McCoury Band is still playing a stand-out show and celebrating a lifetime of musical achievements one song at a time. www.delmccouryband.comhttp://www.stoughtonwi.com/events/details/hot-club-of-cowtown-3873
05/02/2019 - Hot Club of CowtownSince 1998, the Western swing-gypsy jazz trio Hot Club of Cowtown has traveled the world bringing their own brand of magical musical chemistry to audiences far and wide. Along with Elana James, guitarist Whit Smith and bassist Jake Erwin are equal partners in this original marriage of gypsy-jazz-inspired by the music of Django Reinhardt &mdash; which accounts for the &ldquo;Hot Club&rdquo; portion of their name &mdash; with the hoedowns, traditional tunes, and Western swing-inspired music of Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys, represented in the &ldquo;Cowtown&rdquo; of their name. They have created a legacy of the preservation of musical traditions that have often been overlooked by the mainstream and alternative music worlds. Even Americana and roots enthusiasts have only scratched surface of the multitude of musicians, past and present, who continue to inspire the Hot Club of Cowtown. www.hotclubofcowtown.comhttp://www.stoughtonwi.com/events/details/madfiddle-highway-151-3872
